“These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,”
These were the sons of Seir the Horite, who were living in the region: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah. The indigenous peoples of the Seir region — the Horites — are listed alongside the Edomite genealogy. Zibeon and Anah are names that appeared in Esau's genealogy (Genesis 36:2) — the Horites and Edomites were intermarrying. The application: the genealogy of a people includes the peoples with whom they intermarried and whose land they inhabited.
